Jack

I like to say "we all work for Jack" (aka el Jefe).  He manages to keep track of every-thing on the farm and is always the first to let me know when something is amiss, such as the sheep have managed to burst through a fence and into the wrong pasture. He also seems to enjoy buzzing past the chickens, watching them squawk and flap in indignation.  Now that spring is here, the ewes and lambs spend their days on the hillside pastures.  Jack runs the perimeter of the hillsides at the close of every day to help bring the sheep down to a pasture close to the house.  This keeps the lambs safe from coyotes at night.
